Rhinoplasty, NYC – For an Ideal Profile

The nose is one of the most defining features of the face. When ideally shaped, it can highlight your natural beauty and promote a sense of aesthetic harmony. But cosmetic imperfections like a dorsal bump, a bulbous or drooping nasal tip or crooked nasal bridge can disrupt this delicate balance. Fortunately, an adjustment through rhinoplasty can produce a dramatic improvement in your appearance.

Rhinoplasty (more commonly known as a “nose job”) is a surgical procedure that can reshape your nose for either medical or cosmetic purposes. Medical rhinoplasty can improve the function of your nose, while cosmetic rhinoplasty can give the nose a more ideal shape and structure. It is very common to have surgery to correct both functional and aesthetic issues simultaneously.

Dr. David Cangello understands that rhinoplasty can be a life-changing procedure, which is why he works meticulously to reshape the nose so that it blends seamlessly with the patient’s other facial features. Whether you’re seeking rhinoplasty for cosmetic or functional purposes, Dr. Cangello will help you achieve your goals from nose surgery through expertly applied surgical skill and artistic vision.

“Dr. Cangello is an amazing surgeon! Let me start off by saying he is genuinely one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. I had a septorhinoplasty performed by him last week. The results are amazing! My nose was broken when I was younger, and it really affected my self-confidence growing up. Now, I finally have the gorgeous straight nose I yearned for. Dr. Cangello is definitely one of the best plastic surgeons out there right now. I highly recommend him.”

“Dr. Cangello was great from the first consultation all the way through my post op appointments. He has a great bedside manner and answered all of my questions and concerns and made me feel very confident and comfortable about the surgery.

Discover Whether Rhinoplasty Is Right for You

Ideal candidates for rhinoplasty in NYC include men and women who are in good health, but who are unhappy with the appearance of their nose. People seeking rhinoplasty typically present with the following concerns:

Cosmetic imperfection after an injury

Breathing problems due to congenital defect of the nose

Dissatisfaction with the size or shape of the nose

It’s important for rhinoplasty candidates to have reasonable and optimistic expectations about their outcome from nose surgery. While Dr. Cangello can significantly improve the appearance of your nose, the best results are achieved when the shape of your nose is enhanced within the limits of your own anatomy and facial proportions.

Also, teens seeking rhinoplasty in NYC should wait until their nasal bones are fully developed and no longer growing, but Dr. Cangello will ultimately determine your candidacy for rhinoplasty at your consultation.

Understanding Your Rhinoplasty in Detail

Open vs. Closed Rhinoplasty

For those individuals considering rhinoplasty there are two potential options to consider.

With a closed rhinoplasty, all the incisions are made inside the nose. With an open approach, incisions are made inside the nose, but there is also one tiny incision made across the skin between the nostrils. While either approach can produce great results, Dr. Cangello prefers an open approach and believes it produces superior results. Here’s why: An open approach to rhinoplasty allows the internal structures of the nose to be exposed and completely visualized.

Specifically, Dr. Cangello performs a “Component Separation of the nose” during rhinoplasty which can only be done using an open approach. The nose is composed of seven separate structural components which are held together by attachments called ligaments. In order to attain the most natural-looking results, Dr. Cangello feels that these seven components should be separated completely during surgery. In this way each of the individual components can be modified and then repositioned in the most proportionate and balanced way. By performing an open procedure, the parts of the nose end up fitting back together harmoniously. It is important to note that although the incision for this procedure is made externally, the resultant scar will be imperceptible. This is in contrast to a closed approach where often the attachments between all of the components of the nose are not separated and therefore the components are not free to move into the most natural position after alteration of isolated areas (such as reducing a dorsal hump). Altering a single part of the nose in isolation but leaving the remaining parts of the nose untouched can lead to results that are disproportionate and unbalanced. Redesigning the nose is best done when the entire structure can be changed and artistically put back together as is the case with Dr. Cangello’s “Component Separation” using the open approach.

How Your Rhinoplasty Will Be Performed

Dr. Cangello’s choice of technique and incision sites are based on multiple factors. These include the anatomy and structure of your nose, your personal goals, how well your nose functions, and whether you are having any additional procedures performed at the same time. Dr. Cangello will explain the right approach for you during your initial rhinoplasty consultation.

After the incisions are made, Dr. Cangello will carefully separate the nasal skin from the bone and cartilage. He will then sculpt the bone and cartilage in the manner outlined during your consultation.

Rhinoplasty frequently involves reduction of a dorsal hump and alteration of the lower cartilages of the nose to define the nasal tip. Often, osteotomies (fracture of the nasal bones) need to be performed to narrow the dorsum of the nose, particularly after reduction of a large dorsal hump.

Lastly, the skin envelope is draped back onto the nose in a way that will reveal its new shape. Dr. Cangello will close the incisions with sutures that dissolve on their own, or with ones that he removes within a week. After your rhinoplasty, a splint will be applied so your nose will maintain its new shape. Dr. Cangello may also place soft splints inside the nose if septoplasty is performed. Your rhinoplasty will take around two hours to complete, depending on the extent of treatment.

Ethnic Rhinoplasty in NYC

Patients who’d like to refine characteristics that are specific to certain ethnicities may want to consider ethnic rhinoplasty. Men and women seeking ethnic rhinoplasty in NYC are typically of African American, Middle Eastern, Asian, or Latin American descent. An ethnic rhinoplasty procedure can achieve the following:

Make a flat nose more elevated and refined

Enhance the structure of a nose that looks too small (nose augmentation)

Improve the balance of the nose with the chin, forehead, and surrounding facial features

Reduce the width of the nasal bridge and the nostrils

Reduce the length of the nose

Ethnic rhinoplasty is much different than traditional rhinoplasty, and it requires a great deal of care and surgical precision to produce results that look natural. Ethnic rhinoplasty may also require specialized techniques, such as cartilage grafting or nasal implants, so it’s important to choose a board-certified plastic surgeon who is qualified to handle this procedure. Dr. Cangello has extensive experience with this particular type of rhinoplasty, allowing him to produce results that highlight the unique beauty of ethnic traits.

Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty in NYC

For patients who prefer a less-invasive option, non-surgical rhinoplasty is an excellent alternative. This procedure involves the use of dermal fillers to treat minor cosmetic irregularities affecting the nose. For example, when treating dorsal bumps, filler can be injected into the surrounding tissue to produce a smooth, even nasal bridge. When injected into drooping nasal tips, filler can also be used to create lift. While non-surgical rhinoplasty cannot replace traditional rhinoplasty, it’s a great option for patients who want to improve the appearance of their nose but don’t feel ready to undergo surgery. Non-surgical rhinoplasty is a quick, in-office treatment, and it requires virtually no downtime or recovery.

What to Expect from Recovery After Rhinoplasty

After surgery, your face will likely feel puffy and achy. You may also have some drainage of blood and mucus from your nostrils. You will also feel congested. Dr. Cangello will prescribe the appropriate pain medication in case you need to alleviate any discomfort during your rhinoplasty recovery.

You will be provided with specific instructions on what to avoid following your rhinoplasty in NYC. You may be advised to avoid strenuous physical activities, blowing your nose, rubbing your face, and resting eyeglasses on your nose.

Symptoms like bruising, numbness, and swelling around the eyes are very common after rhinoplasty. These symptoms can be reduced using cold compresses and by keeping your head elevated, even when you are lying down. Bruising will reach its peak on the second or third day, but it should significantly improve within two weeks. Dr. Cangello will remove your splint after the first week, and most patients feel well enough to return to work or school at this time. Some slight swelling may persist for up to six months, but this is usually very minor.

Rhinoplasty NYC – FAQs

Is It True That My Nose Has to Be Broken During Rhinoplasty?

Patients often ask if we must “break their nose” during a rhinoplasty. This procedure (called an “osteotomy”) is when your surgeon cuts into the bone. The patient’s anatomy and the degree of reshaping needed will determine the need for an osteotomy procedure. When an osteotomy is required, Dr. Cangello will explain the process as part of the rhinoplasty surgical plan.

Can Rhinoplasty Improve My Breathing?

Rhinoplasty is often performed for functional purposes and to improve breathing. There are many reasons why patients may have difficulty breathing. Some of the structural problems that make it difficult to breathe include the following: deviated septum, collapsing nostrils on inspiration, enlarged turbinates, and collapsed internal valve(s) of the nose. These can all be corrected with nose surgery.

Will I Have Bruising After My Rhinoplasty?

You may or may not have bruising after your rhinoplasty procedure. Usually, bruising occurs as a result of intentionally fracturing the nasal bones in order to reposition them. When bones are fractured, the process may cause some bruising in the soft tissues around the lower eyelids. Sometimes patients do not bruise at all after their rhinoplasty. There is no way to predict who will or will not bruise. When bruising does occur, it is usually completely gone in 10-14 days, and it can easily be covered up with makeup.

Actual Patient

Will I Have Visible Scars from Open Rhinoplasty?

Some patients are worried about the potential for visible scars following their open rhinoplasty. However, even the incision made in an open approach heals beautifully when done correctly, and it will be imperceptible over time.

Is It Necessary to Remove Tissue If My Nose Is Too Long?

During rhinoplasty, it is necessary to remove tissue to fix a nose that is too long. Typically, part of the septum will need to be removed to shorten a nose. However, there is NO skin removal during the rhinoplasty procedure. The skin will contract on its own to conform to the newly shaped nasal skeleton.

Is It True That Swelling Can Disguise Rhinoplasty Results? How Long Does This Last?

Swelling after rhinoplasty can last for one-to-two years; however, you will still see a noticeable improvement immediately after your surgery. Your results will be noticeable the minute the cast is removed at seven days, but the nose will look a little puffy. It will ultimately look more defined as time progresses.

Usually the nose looks quite good about a month after rhinoplasty, but it will look even better after three-to-six months.

Swelling will continue to diminish after around six months, but at that point the swelling is quite minimal. You can expect subtle improvement to continue for up to a year or two.

What Should I Avoid During My Recovery After Rhinoplasty?

Protecting the fragile tissues of your nose is key during your recovery. After rhinoplasty, patients should avoid wearing glasses for up to a month. They should also avoid blowing their nose for the first three weeks and prevent themselves from sleeping on their sides or stomach for the first two weeks. Likewise, patients should avoid getting their cast wet. To prevent bleeding or trauma to the nose, patients should not engage in strenuous activity or exercise for the first two weeks of their recovery.
